Ron Paul - page 48

"Now, isn't our Constitution a "living" document that evolves in accordance with experience and changing times, as we're so often told? No - a thousand times no. If we feel the need to change our Constitution, we are free to amend it. In 1817, James Madison reminded Congress that the Framers had "marked out in the [Constitution] itself a safe and practicable mode of imporving it as experience might suggest" - a reference to th eamendment process. But that is not what advocates of a so-called living Constitution have in mind. They favor a system in which the federal government, and in particular teh federal courts, are at liberty - even in the absence of any amendment - to interpret the Constitution altogether differently from how it was understood by those who drafted it and those who voted to ratify it."

Now, who is a Ron Paul supporter and who isn't?
